"Avoidance Behavior"...Good Evening, opit,<br /><br />"Avoidance Behavior" is not a euphemism (i.e., a "nicer term" for something one finds too harsh, or ugly, to contemplate--like "pushing up daisies" is a euphemism for "dead"). Using a euphemism is an example of avoidance behavior, and calling my use of the term "avoidance behavior" a euphemism is another example of avoidance behavior. Identifying a misleading argument as avoidance behavior is not a euphemism--it is telling the hard truth, calling a spade a spade, no matter how harsh that truth is for those who want to avoid it.Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456970430923597281.post-79186977323363531292016-11-20T11:25:07.198-08:002016-11-20T11:25:07.198-08:00"Avoidance Behaviour" Nice euphemism, H..."Avoidance Behaviour" Nice euphemism, Harry. I like a couple of related terms. Bi-Partisan Tyranny ( that would be for the Narco-Kleptocracy ) and Bob Altmeyer's Authoritarianism ( shown clearly in George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia, where the war against Franco betrayed the common people by the communists every bit as quickly as the fascists ). BTW The movie Dogma is fun except for perhaps the final 10 minutes, when it bogs down badly.opithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01621946866211400380noreply@blogger.com
